Sequencing Platform Overview

A New Way to Sequence

Nanopore sequencing enables direct analysis of DNA or RNA in real time. The rotating nanopore figure on the right is presented as an illustrative model to explain how a platform can combine continuous signal acquisition, scalable formats, and rich molecular information.

Platform Principles

Richer information, faster access to data, and sequencing at the scale you need.

In nanopore sequencing, single DNA or RNA molecules pass through nanopores while an ionic current flows across the membrane. Characteristic current changes are measured continuously and interpreted computationally, so sequence data becomes available while the experiment is still running.

Richer information

Because sequencing is based on direct molecular sensing, the platform can support sequence readout together with signal-level information linked to native molecules.

Faster access to results

Data is produced continuously during sequencing, which allows quality assessment, monitoring, and downstream analysis to begin before the run is complete.

Flexible scale

A nanopore-based platform can be imagined across portable, benchtop, and higher-throughput formats, helping throughput align with different research and operational requirements.
